VERSE 1
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm
My wife Mary made a lovely shepherd?s pie & peas
D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m
With carrots and gravy, oh and cabbage as an additional green
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm
I said that looks fantastic love and I tucked in hungrily
D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m
My daughter Karen didn?t, something I wish I?d seen
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm
For soon my plate was empty, I said ?Mary, is there any more??
D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m
She said ?No, love, but its treacle sponge for afters? and I said ?phwoar?
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm
I?d had a couple of mouthfuls, when I heard Karen declare
D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m
?I can?t eat any more of this shepherd?s pie mum?
A augmentedA D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm
Well it filled me with despair. (because if I?d known that I wouldn?t have started my sweet)
CHORUS
G+G A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm A augmentedA
But I can?t go back to savoury now
G+G A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm A augmentedA
That shepherd?s pie was stunning but I?m, halfway through my pudding
G+G A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm A augmentedA
I can?t go back to savoury now
G+G G minorGm
My taste buds would go crazy. And I can?t go back to savoury now
(?cause you can?t can you?)
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m
VERSE 2
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm
My tummy was in turmoil, I was panicked and confused
D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m
And as Karen?s dinner grew colder, so did my sweet
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm
For my pleasure in that treacle sponge was now massively reduced
D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m
By the sight of fluffy potato, and glistening meat
G+G A augmentedA
Take this plate from me Oh Lord, before I go insane
G+G GdimGdim
Should I press on with me afters, or go back to my main?
CHORUS
G+G A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm A augmentedA
Oh I can?t go back to savoury now
G+G A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm A augmentedA
That shepherd?s pie was stunning but I?m, halfway through my pudding
G+G A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm A augmentedA
I can?t go back to savoury now Oh no
G+G G minorGm
My taste buds would go crazy. And I can?t go back to savoury now
MIDDLE
D MajorD Dm7Dm7
I can?t go back, I won?t go back
G+G Gm7Gm7
I?d love to go back but I mustn?t do that
D MajorD Dm7Dm7
I can?t go back, I won?t go back
G+G Gm7Gm7 A augmentedA
Obviously I?d love to go back, but I mustn?t do that ... Oh
VERSE 3
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm
At that moment I heard a sound, a scrape of knife on plate
D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m
As I watched Karen?s dinner go in the dog?s dish
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm
My appetite now gone, my pudding suffered the same fate
D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD
I can only assume this appalling outcome was God?s wish
CHORUS
G+G
?Cause I can?t go back to savoury...
A augmentedA BB G# minorG#m C# minorC#m BB
I can?t go back to savoury now
A augmentedA BB G# minorG#m C# minorC#m BB
That shepherd?s pie was stunning but I?m, halfway through my pudding
A augmentedA BB G# minorG#m C# minorC#m BB
I can?t go back to savoury now
A augmentedA A minorAm E MajorE
My taste buds would go crazy. And I can?t go back to savoury now
REPRISE
A augmentedA E MajorE
I can?t go back to savoury now
